Cade Cunningham Ruled Out On Tuesday Against Kings

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has officially been ruled out of the team's game on Tuesday night against the Sacramento Kings. Cunningham was forced to leave their last contest after hurting his knee and he was unable to return that night. Now, it looks like he'll be forced to miss at least one game […]

Delon Wright Questionable For Meeting With Thunder

Washington Wizards guard Delon Wright (quadriceps) might not feature in Monday's game against Oklahoma City, as the team has listed him as questionable for the contest. After missing a large chunk of the season with a knee injury, Wright is bothered by a left quadriceps contusion. He's been limited to 14 outings, averaging 4.5 points, […]

Landry Shamet Questionable For Monday's Game

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (hamstring) continues to carry a questionable tag ahead of an encounter with the Thunder on Monday. Left hamstring soreness could keep him out of action for a third straight game. Shamet has averaged 16.0 minutes of action as one of the backup guards in Washington this season. He's a three-point […]

Alex Caruso Considered Questionable Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (neck) has been tagged questionable for Monday's matchup versus Charlotte. He's nursing a cervical strain and couldn't play against the Hornets on Friday. However, Caruso practiced on Sunday, and it looks like he could be back in the lineup after missing only one game. The versatile guard has had a […]

Andrew Nembhard In Danger Of Missing Fourth Straight Game

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) is considered questionable for Monday's clash with the Celtics. The 23-year-old has been absent for the last three games, leaving the Pacers without one of their best defensive players. Assuming Nembhard remains on the shelf, T.J. McConnell will continue to log the backup point guard minutes behind Tyrese Haliburton. […]

Damian Lillard Out On Monday For Personal Reasons

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (personal) has been ruled out of Monday night's game against the Utah Jazz for personal reasons. It's unclear what the "personal reasons" are that will keep Lillard out of the game, but it seems like this should be a short absence if it ends up being more than one game. […]

Cade Cunningham Won't Return On Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) suffered a left knee strain during the second quarter of Sunday night's game against the Denver Nuggets and has been ruled out for the remainder of the game. Cunningham has been one of the lone bright spots for the Pistons and one of the few players who are consistently […]

Luka Doncic Will Play Against Timberwolves

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Sunday and will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves. The swelling in his right ankle seemed to go down enough for him to move comfortably and get back on the court. His offensive abilities are much-needed against one of the top defensive […]

Markelle Fultz Available On Sunday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is available ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This is great news after Fultz has missed most of the season due to a lingering knee issue. In fact, Fultz has only played in five games this season, but appears ready to go now. The expectation is that […]

Caleb Houstan Starting On Sunday

Orlando Magic guard Caleb Houstan will move into the starting five ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Despite Anthony Black (illness) and Markelle Fultz (knee) being available, Houstan will get the starting nod on Sunday. Fantasy managers shouldn't jump to the waiver wire considering Houstan hasn't done much on the court lately. However, […]

Chris Paul To Miss 4-6 Weeks After Surgery

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul (hand) will miss four-to-six weeks, with the timeline starting after he undergoes surgery next week. The veteran, averaging 8.9 points, 7.2 assists, and 1.1 steals this season, suffered a fractured left hand in Friday's win over the Detroit Pistons. Fortunately, Draymond Green was recently […]

Anfernee Simons To Log Full Workload Against Brooklyn

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons won't face a minutes cap in Sunday's meeting with the Brooklyn Nets. The 24-year-old missed three games because of an illness but returned for the January 3 matchup with the Dallas Mavericks, the first of consecutive games between the teams. However, he was limited to 27 minutes or fewer […]

Alec Burks Probable Against The Defending Champs

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (hamstring) is expected to play on Sunday versus the Denver Nuggets. Burks has slowed down since averaging 15 points per game in October. However, he scored at least 21 points or more in the previous two games leading up to Friday's loss to the Warriors, so there may be something […]

Luka Doncic Questionable Versus Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Timberwolves. He didn't suit up on Friday night versus Portland because of right ankle swelling. As a result, Kyrie Irving led the way offensively, finishing with a game-high 24 points, adding nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two blocks. Additionally, […]

Ja Morant Questionable For Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Morant is dealing with right shoulder soreness, but has only missed one game since he returned from his suspension. Vince Williams Jr. (foot) started in that one game Morant missed, but he's also questionable for Sunday. That means, […]

D'Angelo Russell Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (tailbone) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Russell has missed the last three games as he works his way back from a tailbone contusion. His absence has opened up a door for Max Christie to have a bigger role in the rotation. […]

Chris Paul Fractures Hand, Needs Surgery

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul (hand) was injured in Friday's win over Detroit and was ruled out after logging 24 minutes and finishing with eight points, six boards, and one block. Unfortunately, the team revealed that the 12-time All-Star suffered a fractured left hand and will undergo surgery next week. This isn't an ideal […]

Luka Doncic Sitting Out On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) won't play on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The multi-time All-Star popped up on the injury report on Friday because of a swollen right ankle, although most knew there was a chance he wouldn't be on the floor. That said, without Doncic in the lineup, Kyrie Irving could […]

Andrew Nembhard Won't Play On Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) won't play on Friday night versus the Atlanta Hawks. The 23-year-old injured his back during Monday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks and didn't suit up for the rematch on Wednesday. Although Tyrese Haliburton will see more than enough minutes at the one, others like T.J. McConnell and Bennedict Mathurin […]

Lonnie Walker IV, Dennis Smith Probable For Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Lonnie Walker IV (hamstring) and Dennis Smith Jr. (back) are listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nets have been without Walker since late November. It's a shame because he was playing well before the injury, so hopefully he can provide that spark again once he's […]

Dante Exum, Richaun Holmes Both Ruled Out On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (heel) and center Richaun Holmes (personal) have both been downgraded from doubtful to out on Friday. Given the doubtful tag, this isn't a surprise that they're not playing, but at least the team made it official with plenty of time before the game. This will be their second consecutive game […]

Luka Doncic Appears On Injury Report With Ankle Swelling

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) popped up on the injury report on Friday with right ankle swelling and has been tagged as questionable for their game against the Portland Trail Blazers. If the team decided to hold out Doncic against a weaker opponent while Kyrie Irving was healthy, it wouldn't come as that big […]

Malachi Flynn Questionable To Make Knicks Debut On Friday

New York Knicks guard Malachi Flynn (ankle) has been dealing with an ankle sprain since his last game in Toronto on December 29. After being part of the trade that sent OG Anunoby to the Knicks, Flynn has yet to play, so his role on his new team is unclear at the moment. Flynn was […]

Andrew Nembhard Dealing With Back Sprain On Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) has been listed as questionable on the early morning injury report as he deals with a mid-back sprain. This year, Nembhard has seen stretches of injury issues in between spurts of getting starts and minutes off of the bench. His role has been all over the place, so the […]

Week 11: Dynasty Risers And Fallers For Fantasy Basketball

Finally, we have experienced a trade with somewhat bigger names this season! Welcome back, RotoBallers. This week's edition of the dynasty risers and fallers will have a very noticeable theme. When a trade, like the one that happened earlier in the week, takes place, we usually see some sort of shake-up in dynasty leagues along […]

Cole Anthony Removed From Injury Report

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (quad) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This is great news after Anthony sat out Wednesday's double-overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings. There is no word of Anthony being limited, so the expectation is that he'll be fully ready to go. […]

Malaki Branham Doubtful For Thursday's Game

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Malaki Branham (ankle) is unlikely to play Thursday versus Milwaukee. The team has listed him as doubtful for the game after Branham sprained his right ankle in Tuesday's clash with the Grizzlies. Branham played just seven minutes on Tuesday, and the injury ended a nice run of double-digit scoring he had […]

Reggie Jackson Considered Probable Thursday

Denver Nuggets point guard Reggie Jackson (calf) has been listed as probable for Thursday's marquee matchup against the Warriors. The veteran is dealing with tightness in his left calf, but Jackson has been pushing through the issue lately and should also be good to go on Thursday. Jackson has done well in a reserve role […]
